Cannot pause animation via play/pause button in IE11

[FcrbPeter]

The play/pause button is not fully function on mouse click in IE1.

When I make a mouse down event on the pause button, it changes to play button. However, after the mouse up, the play button changes to pause again. Btw, I can pause the animation when I press the pause button and move outside the button area.

I am thinking about the button state changed twice on both mouse down and up events.

After some tracing, I found that there is a MSPointerDown event fired. It seems always pause the animation of the slider.

function onMSPointerDown(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
    if (slider.animating) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }else{
        slider.pause();
        el._gesture.addPointer(e.pointerId);

        ...
    }
}
